Singapore is mostly a mix of high iq Asians and Malay. It also helps that it's small. Rome worked but only as long as the actual Romans were the backbone of the military and the gold and silver mines kept producing.

Rome is interesting, but inconclusive: The third century AD, when all recruitment for the Praetorian Guard was done in the provinces, may have seen the numerical peak of Rome's foreign population. It is plausible to suppose that at least 5% of the city's inhabitants were born outside Italy in that period; the reality could be much greater.

Also they didn't have the same rights as Romans. I'll look at them more when I get back to real internet though, thanks
